About this sermon
Today the Vatican is celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi. This universal Christian solemnity was instituted in Italy by Pope Urban IV in 1264. It all began in the 13th century, when a German priest, tormented by his doubts about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome to pray at the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul. On his return journey, the priest wanted to stop in a small town in central Italy called Bolsena. While celebrating Mass in the church dedicated to St. Catherine something extraordinary happened. At the moment of the Consecration, while raising the Host over the chalice, the priest saw that the "Particle" began to bleed. The blood began to fall on the corporal and on the other linen cloths on the altar. Frightened, the priest did not have the courage to go on, and hastily took the Host, the chalice, the corporal and the other objects that had been stained by the blood and ran to the sacristy, placing everything inside the tabernacle; it was only later that the priest decided to tell the Pontiff what had happened.
